Have you ever wondered how some people make so much money by doing so little, as though they were gods? Well, they are not gods but they do have some tricks and I am going to be sharing them with you.
The truth is making money isn’t as difficult as you think. And spoiler alert – you don’t have to do so much. So let’s get to business.
Elevate Your Thinking
Productivity starts from the mind. Do you want to make more money? You can! It starts from the mind. So the question you should be asking yourself by now is, “Am I prepared to make more money?” More often than not, what you need is a renewal of mind, not more jobs.
Outsource
This term sounds technical, I know. A lot of people don’t even know what it means. But outsourcing is “the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform services and create goods that traditionally were performed in-house by the company’s own employees and staff” (Investopedia). I hope I didn’t lose you there. Okay, to break it down, outsourcing is basically employing help. “Division of labour” makes the process faster and easier. Employing others to work for you lessens the burden. This is as simple as having an assistant. Focus on what you do best and let others handle the rest. The faster you deliver on jobs, the faster more coins roll into your account.
Technology
I find it funny when I hear people say “they spent hours” trying to do something that could have been done in minutes or less. With technology, we can achieve so much in so little time and that’s just beautiful. Learn to deploy technology in your work process. It will make you more efficient and effective. You do not have to do everything yourself, or manually. There are countless tools that have been created to make your chosen career easier. Find them, and use it.
Use And Block Social Media
Social media is a gift really but only if you know how to use it. It is said that all is vanity. In the case of social media, choose your vanity wisely. Social media is a good way to market your products and services. Think about the millions you could reach via Twitter alone. And if you have quality products, good marketing strategies, imagine the sales you can make. Note the part of ‘good marketing strategies’. It is more than making your WhatsApp status a boutique. Employ good skills too. Apart from using social media, learn to block the distractions.
Opportunities
You can either prepare for opportunities or create one for yourself. I explained how to create opportunities here. Have the sight for opportunities, and the proactiveness to grab them. Do not let the right opportunities slip away.
In conclusion
One word summarises everything said above; Leverage. Archimedes expressed this fundamental concept simply, “Give me a lever long enough, and I will move the earth”. Leverage is about achieving MORE with LESS. Building wealth is impossible without leverage. You need to SCALE your efforts, so it can produce a “multiplication effect” results.
If you want to make more money doing less; use LEVERAGE.
